Peoplesoft Receivables Without Billing

Our organization currently uses Peoplesoft for AP and GL but will now be adding receivables for just one small line of our business. My question is, will it be possible to use AR without fully implementing the billing module as well? The payment info we'll be receiving for the AR module will come via a spreadsheet, so we think the standard XML receivables billing upload process will work, but we will need to create invoices to apply payments against. These invoices will only be reference data, we do not need the billing module to create open aging info or anything, simply a way to apply a payment. So, will we need billing or not?

It's been 12 or 13 years, but I seem to recall that we populated the Pending Item and Pending DST tables with our outstanding A/R back when we converted over to PeopleSoft from several legacy databases. It should work similarly to how you will probably end up adding payments, I would think.

Yes, you can implement AR without BI. You have to properly set up Installation Options to make it work. I've done this before. In AR, an invoice is called an Item. So you can enter Items directly into AR that you can apply payments against. You also have to configure whether GL will get updated with Revenue or not. Based upon your requirement to simply have the Items in the system to apply the payments against, you will be fine.

Fantastic Jordan, et al. Can you confirm if I'll be able to use the one deposit upload process to simultaneously create the invoice item and apply payment to it? I will have to pass the payment info to GL, that is absolutely necessary and the greatest reason behind implementing Receivables, it's just that a 3rd party will be utilized for billing and outside our organization.
Thank you,
